One Christmas Eve, an Oklahoma Dad named Julio had the unthinkable happen. For any dog owner, losing a pet is incomprehensible. On that fateful night, Julio let his great dane, Duke, out to play in the yard with Julio's other dog. Somehow, Duke got out of the yard and disappeared. Julio still isn't sure how Duke got out, and he soon began searching everywhere for his beloved dog. After two long years, he believed his best-friend Duke was gone forever.

No matter how hard Julio tried, he couldn't find Duke. But as it turns out, Duke was a long way from home, as he traveled 350 miles away into Texas. The lovable great dane wound up on David Walker's ranch in Novasota, Texas. David says that one day, he looked down and saw Duke looking up at him, startling the rancher. Since Duke looked friendly, David took him to the vet to see if he had a microchip. Sure enough, Duke was found in the system, and Julio got a call that day to tell him Duke had been found.

After Julio got off work that day, he drove the 350 miles to Novasota to pick up Duke. Even before Duke sees Julio, he knows his owner is coming for him because he recognizes the sound of Julio's truck. Duke and Julio's initial reaction to seeing each other is incredibly special, as both have missed the other for more than two years. Watch the video to see the incredible reunion of Julio and his best friend, Duke!
